Vy Auto Headlight Switch / Function not working!

[hales91]

Hey guys,

Recently when i switch to the auto head light function my headlights and interior lights are not illuminating, however my headlights do work when on the normal headlight function (so its not the globes).

I've read that if all lights aren't working (headlights, dash, Gears) then its probably the fuse.

So if that's the case, where is the fuse located for it and if not how do i fix it!?

Thanks

Fuse would be under the steering wheel, it just pulls down.

If its a blown fuse just replace it with one of the spares if possiblevif not go buy one

BUMP...
checked all fuses none are blown?

Sounds like a problem inside the actual switch to me. If it was a fuse, then there'd be nothing at all, whether on normal or auto. Get yourself another switch if you can, or you could TRY pulling yours apart and checking it out, but I had mine out once and it seemed to look a bit tricky to dismantle.
Wreckers first or buy a new one if you have to. Don't get up me though if you buy a new one and it wasn't the problem! It is just my thought on what the possible cause would be. Good luck!

Switch is easy to dismantle 4 clips on the back, pulls back out...
Then lift the white pole (switch pole or whatever its called) up and out with pliers

Check the sensitivity you have it set for?

As kcpwns has suggested, the switch's sensitivity can be adjusted via the mode buttons on the dash. Check the owner's handbook to see what's available. Also, is your light sensor on the top centre of the dash clean and free of dust etc. Is there any chance it has been damaged or become disconnected?
